Liu Xinyi also saw Li Zeqian. She curled her lips and called out, "Zeqian."

Li Zeqian frowned: "Xu Rushi, Xu Ruhua, what did you do?"

Xu Rushi noticed that Li Zeqian's tone was not right: "Brother Li, I just heard that you were actually dating a country girl like her. I, I feel sorry for you... and, and how could you be dating him? Our two families are obviously interested..."

"Xu Rushi, Liu Xinyi and I have developed a revolutionary love, please don't destroy us anymore. I'll tell my family that our elders used to have a good relationship, which gave you an illusion and misunderstanding. Since our two families are old friends, I won't bother about this matter, and you shouldn't bother my girlfriend anymore. Xinyi, I'm sorry for wronging you this time. I treat them both as my neighbors, so please don't bother with them this time, okay?"

The Xu sisters widened their eyes in disbelief. They couldn't believe that such words came out of Li Zeqian's mouth.

Liu Xinyi was also very unwilling. She was slapped in the face by the Xu sisters, and they hit her hard on the face. Now her face was painful and swollen. However, Li Zeqian told her not to bother with them.

"Ze Qian, my face hurts so much." Liu Xinyi pursed her lips and tried her best to show her pitiful side.

Li Zeqian held Liu Xinyi's hand and said, "Xinyi, I know I have wronged you this time, but my family and the Xu family are old friends, and the elders have joked about arranging a marriage for you, so they treated you like this. It's all my fault, and I will make it up to you when I go back. Xu Rushi and Xu Ruhua, let me tell you again, it was a joke from the elders in our two families before. I have always treated you as my sisters, but now I have found a partner, so please treat Xinyi as your sister-in-law in the future."

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? How can this country boy compare to my sister who is gentle, beautiful and talented? Is she threatening you?" Xu Ruhua asked unwillingly.

At this time, Liu Xinyi took Li Zeqian's arm and said, "We are just in love with each other, how can there be any threat? Since Zeqian has said so, I will not bother with you."

"You!" Xu Ruhua was so angry that she didn't know what kind of magic potion this vixen had given Li Zeqian.

Since the parties involved didn't care, the captain just criticized the Xu sisters verbally.

Although there was no actual punishment, the reputation of the Xu sisters' arrogance and domineering behavior spread throughout the village.

After the New Year, Shen Ruoqing discussed building a house with Old Lady Ji and went back to the county hospital to continue studying.

Half of the Shen family’s house was demolished and they started building a new one.

It was too troublesome to provide meals, and there was only Old Lady Ji at home, so Shen Ruoqing agreed with Old Lady Ji not to provide meals. The daily wage was 80 cents, which was considered high, so many villagers were willing to help.

Seeing the cartloads of bricks being brought in, many people were jealous. Some even pulled Old Lady Ji aside to ask how she got the bricks.

Old Mrs. Ji just said that she was lucky to have found bricks that others didn't want. Some people started to think about demolishing their own houses and building a new one.

Shen Ruoqing learned very quickly in the county hospital.

She already had the basics and theoretical knowledge, but she just lacked practice. Although Fan Yanli was very arrogant, she was finally impressed by Shen Ruoqing's medical skills and became good friends with him.

"Ruoqing, you learn much better than me. The teacher said that he would give you a place. Come stay in the county hospital with me." Fan Yanli said while hugging Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Ruoqing shook his head: "I'm still in high school. I have to finish my studies before considering other things."

"Okay then, I'll talk to the teacher and I'll reserve the spot for you." Fan Yanli was a little frustrated.

"You don't need to reserve a place for me. If I want to come to the county hospital, I will definitely pass through my own efforts."

On the last day of the training, all the related people continued to stay in the county hospital, and no one expected that Shen Ruoqing would actually leave.

"So what if some people have a good foundation? They still leave in disgrace."

The man looked at Shen Ruoqing proudly, and when he found that Shen Ruoqing didn't react, he became even more arrogant.

Shen Ruoqing ignored the sour remarks. She had learned a lot in the county hospital. She bowed solemnly to Dr. Ou and left the county hospital.

Shen Xiangbei had already waited for her at the entrance of the county hospital.

"Little sister, your sister-in-law has made you some lion's head, waiting for you to come home and eat it." Shen Xiangbei said, "There have been a lot of mice in our house recently, and many of our pets have been bitten. Wait a minute, I have to go to my colleague's house and get a cat."

"Are there a lot of rats in your house recently?" Shen Ruoqing has been living in the dormitory of the county hospital for some time and had no idea there were rats in his house.

"Yeah, I don't know what happened. Even though I kept my house clean, there were more mice. My new shirt was even bitten with a hole."

"So powerful? I'll prepare some rat poison later. I guarantee that all the rats will be killed."

Shen Xiangbei shook his head: "I'd better go get a cat. It's not safe to keep rat poison in the house, and there are children next door."

Shen Ruoqing thought about it and felt that it was right. Wen Jiao had a baby next door. Although the rat poison he prepared would definitely not cause any harm to the human body, the child was too young. If he accidentally ingested it, it would be bad for his health.

Shen Xiangbei brought a cat back from his colleague's house.

Shen Ruoqing originally thought it was a big cat, but it turned out to be a three-month-old orange kitten, so small that he didn't know whether it was catching the mouse or the mouse catching it. The mice here are very big. Shen Ruoqing has seen that the largest mouse is probably bigger than this little kitten.

Shen Xiangbei didn't care. This little cat grew up very fast. He could raise it and it would grow up. There were mice everywhere in their area, so cats were very popular. He even bought this cat with a pack of cigarettes.

Su Jieru was a little disappointed when she saw that what Shen Xiangbei brought in the end was a kitten.

"Can such a small cat catch mice? Why don't you get a bigger cat?"

"It's easier to raise a kitten than a cat. I want a bigger one for my own family, so I can't bear to change it."

Maybe the kitten was too small, so when it saw a mouse jumping in front of it, it showed its claws, but was finally scared away by the mouse.

“I can’t catch this.”

"It's definitely impossible to catch a mouse, Fourth Brother. You're making things difficult for the child laborer. A kitten must be at least four or five months old before it can catch a mouse," Shen Ruoqing said.

"I think we should buy a mousetrap, kill a mouse half to death, and give it to the kitten to practice with. It will be able to catch mice soon."

"Well, that's the only way."
